Director
An extremely personal and intimate introspection of a black, transgender woman named Allie Cole. The short focuses on Cole’s experiences as a growing homosexual within a turbulent family that bullied her over her sexual orientation and behaviour, against the grain of the expected American heteronormativity, whilst also dealing with her struggles as she transitioned to a female.
Cinematography
The story of an aspiring musician from Kaufman, Texas who travels to Nashville with the lifelong dream of trying his hand at country music. By embodying the title character under prosthetic make up, actor Stephen Dorff successfully infiltrates Music City and takes his character on an authentic singer / songwriter journey. With the help of key allies on the ground, "Wheeler" converses with real people in real locations, with every musical number performed live. The line between reality and fiction blurs as Wheeler chases his dream in this touching tribute to old school country legends.
